IS the Democratic party of Virginia
afraid Of itself? And is it for that rea-

fence and general welfare And il so,
can We afford to 60 on to the fight
with enemies to contend with from

A Logan Anecdots.

The world knows but little OF Gen. Logan
the man. Representative Thomas, whom
Mrs. Logan dandled as baby ON her knee
the day she was married, and who now repre-
sents Logan's old district in congress, says the
United States knew Logan no better than
old Judea did Jesus Christ. He was only
gruff and morose at times, and he was in
reality one of the kindest of men Thomas ever
knew Said he: "Gen. Logan could not bear
to see hurt the feelings of even a dog, and
when the family would drive the dogs Off the
porch be would say:
"Let them alone They are doing no hurt,
and why should you disturb thems
"The people of Illinois feel that they had
a property right in John A. Logan. He was
peculiarly an Illinoisan, and the people of my
district loved him as one of their own family
They always called him John. He would
shake hands with them and chat with them,
and there were few of them that he could not
remember. l saw an old woman in sun
bonnet and calico dress who came up to
shake hands with him during the last time
he spokein my district. She had gray hair
and many wrinkles She was poorly clad
and she came forward timidly. As soon as
Logan saw her he jumped toward her and
grasped her by the hand and said: why,
how do you do, Aunt Nancy9 I am so glad
to see your
"rhe old woman was so delighted at being
recognized that she wept. She said: IT'S
twenty years since saw you, John, and yo,
remember me-! You know used to danes
You on my knee when you was bats =
Yes, Aunt Nancy, remember it, and s,n
glad to see you again. And the wonsaI,
went away the happiest person in Illinois. ~

THE BISMARCK RAILROAD BRIDGE.

On the eastern border the Red River Of
the North has a general course due
north; as a consequence there is occasionally
a complete thaw around the headwaters Of
that stream, while the ice is still firm 200
miles northward, down stream. Naturally,
therefore, the upper floods burst up the ice,
heave it into enormous masses and some.
times force it out of the river channel and
far out on the adjacent prairie. The
double agency of flood and grinding ice makes
such floods peculiarly destructive, but for
tunately they do not often occur. A similar
thing occasionally happens on the Missouri,
though its course is southeast and toward a
warmer region, and the cause Of it is found
in the peculiar "Chinool1 Wind"
This is a warm wind from the Pacific
ocean, called by the japanese "Kuvo Siwo. "
Occasionally in winter, oftener in early
spring, this wind takes such a course as to
blow through and over the lowest passes in
the Rocky mountains of British America; it
then sweeps southeast along the eastern base
of the big coteau, through Alberta Assine-
boia and the northwestern part of Dakota.
The mercury rises in a night from below
zero to above the freezing point-in rare
instances as high as 30 degs. above zero. The
snow disappears as if before warm south
wind, the ice, three or four inches thick in
the Missouri, suddenly loses its tenacity, the
waters rushing in, burst up the ice and the
masses sweep down with resistless force. But
the river below latitude 46 degs is beyond
the influence of the "Chinook," and the
ice even IN March as firm as rock
then the floods from above pile their
floating ice on it OF burst it by hy-
draulic pressure from below, and a terrible

thereof. The mottoes in all the professions in.
dicated the satisfaction of the people at their
present relations with Great Britain. Lord
Reay, the governor, declared in his address
that the queen had faithfully fulfilled every
